Hi Charlie,
Hoping you could provide more details on the trim work. Thank you for the dimensions. My question is if the trim is a stock product or did the carpenter rip down to size as suggested in another post? In addition, does the trim have an eased edge or back band around the door/window frames? Any other challenges in terms of scale or profile 1/2" trim causes vs traditional 3/4"? Thank you. »
robbray6 Hello Charlie. I must agree. I have been looking for a couple weeks. Trying to find plain flat stock 6x1 and 3 or 4x1 for my floor base and door trim without any scrolling. Any suggestions?
kconnolly57 Many Many thanks. How wide should the trim be around the doors? Is there some ratio to the base board molding height? I have 8 ft ceilings.
lefty47 Hi -- for trims around doors etc. I just do 3 to 4 inches - no set rule really - If it is a feature entrance you could go 6 inches if you want. I do what I want the look to be. Like if it's going to be a modern space I go with a no trim look - I just use a small corner trim.
moore3boyz Mr. Simmons you are amazing! Was looking very clean, simplistic line for my bases. Using poplar is genius not to mention cost effective. Thanks
loves2read This look appeals to me also because of the light at the end of the tunnel (hall)...would it be as effective if the hall deadended into a wall and there was minimal light value...we are buying home w/8 ft ceilings that has bedroom hall and no natural light coming in...don't know that we can add extra cans or sidelights to enhance lighting either...
silvija78 Mr. Simmons could you please tell me where the baseboards were purchased if they were stock.. thank you so much.. doing a whole house reno and if these are inexpensive than they would be perfect!
5. Remove carpeting. Traditional wall-to-wall carpeting is notoriously difficult to get and keep clean. Whenever possible, go with hard flooring (wood, tile, linoleum) instead.Houzz guides to floor materials
